Sessions

An introduction to network hacking, I plan to break into a fully patched sql server install on windows server 2008 and then from that server break into the domain controller (another fully patched server) and gain domain admin privlages.  From there I could go ahead and retrieve every user on the domains username and password.

For an added twist I might do this all from my iphone...

SESSION FORMAT: This session will continue throughout the day on one or more tables upstairs with the slide presentation running continuously. This is the format they use at other conferences and it is sometimes called a "Lockpicking Village." It works well because picking locks takes time.

Remember those movie scences where a spy-like character pulls out a "bobbie pin" or a paperclip and proceeds to pick a lock? Is that really possible? Probably not. But, maybe :-)

If you're interested in what it takes to really pick a lock, especially if you'd like to try it yourself, please consider attending this session!

We'll have a selection of tools and locks available so you can learn how locks work and what's needed to pick them. Better yet, we'll have several local "lockpickers" availale to help you get a "feel" for lockpicking (pun intended!).

Locks and Picks: If you have locks and/or picks - even if you don't intend to participate in this session - please consider bringing them ... we'd like everyone who wants to try lockpicking to have a chance and the more locks, and picks, the better. 

Assistance Appreciated: If you're an experienced lockpicker yourself, please join us! This will be a hands-on session and we'd appreciate your help introducing this fascinating topic to those who are interested.

Pre-Session Reading: If you're interested in learning a little about lockpicking before this session, consider these links:

Ever wanted to make copies of an object?
Make food safe custom jello molds?
Make an army of deranged lawn gnomes?

Well then, silicone mold making is for you!

Presentation:
Silicone mold making technique and supplies
Object that mold well
Pulling resin copies.

Hands on:
Make a silicon mold of a small object.
Note this will have to be worked in a couple of small sessions through out the day. As the silicone needs to cure before you can add more layers.

I'd like to share some of the things that my family does in order to live more sustainably, self-sufficiently, and cheaply.

Come see the state of the art of open source 3D printing with the RepRap Prusa Mendel and the Makerbot Inc Makerbot Cupcake!  I will give you a demo of the lastest open source electronics, hardware, and software. And show you a wide variety of the type of parts these machines are capable of producing.

I will also give great tips on how to source and assemble your own printer for under $600, either in your own basement shop, with the help of your local hackerspace, or reputable online vendors.

Milwaukee Makerspace has a CNC Router, and a lot of people ask "How do I prepare my design for CNC?". This session will discuss at least one (and maybe several) ways to do that.

Additional presenters are welcome to join in.

An introduction to Processing. Using the newest version from processing.org, we will take a look at basic structure, using libraries, and packaging a sketch for use with an arduino. Presentation: Informal introduction to the processing language. The use of the extensive collection of libraries for processing. Sample of creating a sketch and having it communicate with an Arduino.

Cocos2D is an open-source game framework for iOS that makes developing games simple.  In this session I'm going to go over the concepts that make Cocos2D great and demonstrate creating a simple game.

I would recommend some experience with Objective-C, XCode and iOS for this session.

note: I'll have to aim for a sunday session for this since I can't stick around saturday.  this also takes the overnight hackathon off the table

We'll explore the github/cloud9ide/no.de workflow for developing node.js web apps completely in the cloud.

I've also got an experimental node.js app that we can try out for crowdsourcing a presentation so bring a laptop if you want to join in on the fun!

And if there's time we'll take a look at some fun demos from this year's NodeKnockout.

Resources:

• node.js
• github
• cloud9ide
• no.de

In this session we will chose one of world's problems and come up with approaches to addressing it by using Perception Mapping methodology that you will learn in the process.

Starting a non-profit

The in's and out's of starting a non profit.  

Following a couple of requests on Twitter, I've offered to present on middling- to advanced-level PostgreSQL. Given Oracle's recent shenanigans with MySQL, this is more timely than ever! This session will also satisfy your BarCampMKE continuing computer geek credits, balancing out all of your cool liberal arts studies in many other sessions.

I will explain and (hopefully) demonstrate how to modify web content (such as text or images on webpages) in transit to the end user.  Here are the ingredients: 

• packet crafting
• firewall magic
• a transparent proxy (that I just wrote yesterday - 9/25)
• awesomeness

This is a fun, frank discussion on sex, sexuality, gender, and other related topics. Bring your questions and get them answered!

This session is for mature audiences only and you are welcome to leave at anytime if anything is said that makes you uncomfortable. Similarly, know that you will be asked to leave if you say or do something intentionally offensive.

Basically an introduction to the logic of micro prossesors and logic gates.  An explanation of NAND logic and how to implement logic gates using transistors.

(partially tenative on me finishing the 8 bit calculator in time ;D)

I'll walk you through some of the best workflows I've come up with for using an iPad to actively produce content. Many of you have seen me draw on my iPad; in this session I'll show you how to produce and distribute the drawings online and get things from the iPad into the cloud.

Have you ever heard of Drupal? Chances are good, because around here there are quite a few designers and developers who work with it! Alas, I don't - or rather, I really try not to. I have however worked extensively with MODX. If you're interested in a Drupal alternative in PHP, MODX may be right for you! 

An introduction to Web Design is a 15 minute presentation meant as a primer for those interested in web design but with no experience.

It answers the following:

• Why is web design important?
• What is web design?
• What distinguishes bad web design?
• What distinguishes good web design?
• How do we develop good web design?

Learn how to make a self watering planter for container gardening.  I'll show you how to make a planter, where to get the parts, and some lessons learned from my experiments this past growing season.

In the extra time, I can share what I've learned about building trellises for climbing vegetables and raised beds.

Startups on a Budget: how to get free food & meet business contacts. Do work & play intermingle in the entrepreneurial world?

*** Are you a bootstrapping startup? Not sure when your next $$ comes? Need guerrilla marketing? Let’s discuss stretching $, and eating healthy. ***

There will be a panel discussion, and audience roundtable segment. Bring your questions!

Have a Rubik's Cube sitting around somewhere partially solved after hours of frustration?  Well bring it in and I'll help you learn how to solve it!

This presentation will focus on a 3x3x3 (your typical Rubik's Cube), but I will have instructions from solving the 2x2x2 as well as big cubes, like Rubik's Revenge (4x4x4), The Professor's Cube (5x5x5), The V-Cube 6 (6x6x6), as well as the V-Cube 7 (7x7x7).  I'll also be providing solutions for picture cubes and irregular cubes as well!

Don't have a Cube but still interested?  I have a stash of 19 cheap cubes I'll be bringing in for people to use.  If you want to keep it, I'm willing to part ways with them at cost ($2 each).

Discuss the architecture and tools for a high-availability server pair from Linode, with automatic failover and failback. Leave with a recipe for your own HA server pair for the cost of two $20/month Linode servers.

I love open source software just as much as the next network geek, but it's come to my attention that some open source software companies are evil. Evil, I tell you, evil! In this session we'll discuss how to evaluate open source software by analyzing the business model of the company or non-profit that runs the project.

Databases store most of the frequently changing information on the web -- from the content of BarCampMilwaukee.org to every tweet tweeted.  The two most popular open source database engines are PostgreSQL and MySQL.  After the recent MySQL roller coaster on the rails of Sun Microsystems and Oracle, some MySQL users are looking for an exit strategy.  Although Oracle says that they will continue development of the free verion of MySQL, they have little incentive to introduce features that might further limit sales of their other products.  Fortunately, some of the original developers of MySQL have banded together and created MariaDB.  It is a drop-in compatible replacement for MySQL and an expanded engine with support for additional table formats, query types, bug fixes, and performance optimizations.  I'll cover a few of the enhancements in MariaDB and demonstrate a basic comparison with MySQL on two cloud servers.  I'll tailor the presentation to the technical ability of the audience so if you're a developer who wants to better understand databases or a long-time DBA come and join us. Thanks to version2beta for the title :)  I encourage you to check out his presentation about PostgreSQL to learn about another excellent database engine.

So one day shortly after I had acquired my Droid, I was crabbing to a friend about the lack of ability to zoom the camera. The teen in the room looked up from his Droid and said, "Yes you can. Here..."

How nice to be of a generation where one can spend a half day poking around with a new gizmo,not having to worry about billable hours or cleaning the house or trekking to another soccer game.

And I couldn't find the user manual for the device in the box, either. Oh, right. Scratch that last comment.

Anyways... sometimes looking over somebody else's shoulder is the best way to pick up new tips and tricks. In this roundtable session, we'll discuss what we want out of our Android devices, and then share philosophies as well as specific techniques used to accomplish those goals.

So... I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

This will be an open discussion on women in hackerspaces and some of the challenges that we face.  Topics to cover include, but not limited to, attracting more women to the space, social dynamics with a predominant male population, interpersonal conflicts and how to properly address them

Are you or your kids interested in learning how to program?  Is learning C++, Java, or Objective-C too daunting?  Never fear! We will have a table full of computers setup and pre-loaded with both Scratch and Hackety Hack, two fantastic applications that help you learn how to program.  Scratch (http://scratch.mit.edu) is geared towards younger children and allows you to create games in a very visual manner while Hackety Hack (http://hackety-hack.com) is geared towards older children and uses Ruby.

Programming is fun!

I will be running a hackathon to create an open source maker social network.  Jordan Bunker and I presented on this idea last year and intended to build it ourselves, but that never happened.  (Doing things is hard!)  This year we'd like to kick it off as an open source project so the hacker and maker community at large can benefit from the collaboration tools we have planned.  

There are a couple main features:

What we'll need:

• developers: I'm willing to teach python and django if we choose that, but I'm open
• designers: Appearance and UI/UX design are important to making a successful tool
• alpha testers: (aka, interested but can't help) I'm a fan of agile and lean processes, so getting something in front of users is important to see if the idea's any good.
• What else? I'm not sure.  I think that covers it, but if you think you can help in a way I didn't list that's great!

Saturday is when the finale of the 6th Season of Doctor Who airs. With any luck we will be able to project the finale and perhaps have a discussion session after.

There will likely be some enormous spoilers if you aren't up to speed, so either come prepared or avoid the area!

At Barcamp 1 there was a talk on peak oil.

It's 6 years later - time for a look back and a look forward.

A general craft table for everyone to enjoy.  This was a big hit last year for KidsCamp, so we're bringing it back again.  Perhaps this time I'll actually remember to bring both hot glue guns _and_ glue sticks!

A fun addition to your home is a worm bin.  Composting worms will eat your food scraps and give you great worm castings to use as compost or the base for compost tea.  I'll show you how to build your own worm bin and give you some information about keeping the worms alive.  This will be hands on for those who attend as we'll actually build one worm bin.

This will be great for kids and adults alike.  Who doesn't like playing with worms?

The pros, cons, and everything inbetween of raising kids in a tech driven society. Questions, ideas, support, and laughs. This is an open discussion with a few jumping off points, but aimed at letting the conversation develop organically. Please note: this is a judgment free zone.

I'm available to reprise my Web414 presentation on cloud computing if anyone is interested? Covers the basics for Amazon Web Services, Rackspace Cloud, and Linode.

When you want to have it all, and build much of it yourself along the way, what you really need is an open source enterprise resource planning framework. It's a nice comfortable place to store your data and documents with lots of room for expansion. Come take a walk around a standard Tryton installation. We'll kick the tires, take it for ride around the block, and start talking about swapping out rims and exhaust.

Provoking online security through full disclosure.  Sniff out insecure communication and submit it to the Wall of Sheep.  Got what it takes?  Stick around, jack in, and fire up wireshark!  This is one list you don't want to make.

wan uplink would be helpfull :).

Some members of the Distributed Hacker/Maker Network in Appleton, WI and Jason Gullickson have begun to discuss the possibility of a BarCamp (possibly under the guise of http://BarCampFoxValley.org/ ) in Beaver Dam, WI.

Join us as we discuss such an event!

Currently discussing via http://groups.google.com/group/dhmn-discussion

"Facebook is the Devil"
"Google is Evil"
"Twitter is stupid"

Whatever you may think about these sites, you probably use them in some way, and you know they are using you for profit.  But hey, they are free services and provide utility to a billion people.  So what do you do with all that rich connected social data when Facebook becomes MySpace or My_ whatever and fades to obsecurity for crappy bands?

This is the session for you if you think this is important, and I'll explain why you should be thinking about it if you don't. I'll demo free and open source tech that will help you retain *your* data wherever you want. Also we can talk about the pay services that do this, but I can't afford them.  

Topics:

• Google's DLF - Not a fully baked solution, but interesting so far
• ThinkUp - Great for twitter
• Locker Project - New hotness on Data Liberation
• RSS - Old school but still important for data exchange
• Diaspora - how can you squander $200,000 ;)
• Managing News - Had to get a drupal project in here

Come with your servers loaded with php, mongodb, mysql/mariadb node,js and liberate your data!

Not so much a session as a project. We've got some cameras + dvr's that we want to hook up around bucketworks for various purposes... partially security, partially social. Who didn't do the dishes? Who's leaving the door open? Who's presenting in the meet-up space? I'll probably be working on the project Saturday night... would love some help!

I will come back later and post a full post. This is just a test.

Ground floor opportunity to help me build this thing (see title). Multi-million dollar opportunity here. Quit whinning about the economy and put your skills to work. Betweeen my flawless reputation, training, experience, and clever brand, and your _________________________(fill in the blank), we can dominate this blooming market. In this presentation I'll tell you whats needed, and you tell me your ideas on how it can be done. Then lets work out a plan so we all share in the profits. NOTE: I can only do this presentation in the Sunday afternoon session time. Brain on!!!

Many types of touch and multi-touch surfaces are taking over our daily lives, but the reactable is arguably one of the coolest. If you're not familiar with the reactable, you should absolutely drop everything and head on over to http://www.reactable.com. The framework that powers the reactable is open-source and available at http://reactivision.sourceforge.net/

We have been working toward the goal of building a functioning reactable ourselves, and we finally have a product that is starting to approximate the real deal. We'd like to share what we've learned so that others might be able to jumpstart development or jump in on our project. Our reactable-like device will be present and (hopefully) functioning if anyone wants to check it out.
